Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think itís best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but weíd like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isnít the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

The Flash

CW has officially picked up The Flash to series. If you watch Arrow you're probably already familiar with the character playing Barry Allen. Pretty awesome to have a small TV universe with Green Arrow and the Flash. Rumor is the trailer will show up in the Arrow season finale. Can't wait for this show!

The CW is hoping that lightning can strike twice with their young superhero franchises, announcing that they’ve ordered “The Flash” as a new live-action TV series set to air this fall, Entertainment Weekly reports.

The show, which will be part of a lineup that includes the recently renewed “Arrow” as well as “Beauty and the Beast” and the DC Comics adaptation “iZombie,” is a spin-off of “Arrow.” The fan-favorite Barry Allen character, played by Grant Gustin, first appeared in a few episodes of “Arrow.”

It will be the character’s second television incarnation, as he first appeared in the 1990 TV series “The Flash” hot on the heels of the success of 1989′s “Batman.” In some cool casting, John Wesley Shipp, who played The Flash in that series, actually has an as yet unrevealed part in the new show.

Gustin’s Flash will be of course a far younger incarnation of Barry Allen (Gustin is only 24), in keeping with other CW superhero shows like “Arrow” and “Smallville.”

Marvel might have some competition on its hands: with “Flash” and “Arrow” locked down as TV series, DC looks like it’s going to give their rival a run for their money when Marvel’s Netflix series debuts in 2015.

Marvel is too busy crushing it at the box office. Even bland characters like Thor (In your opinion) have similar numbers at the box office as one of DC's all time superheroes (Supman/Man of Steel. Just saying ...

I think he meant that "Flash" isn't in the same universe as "Gotham", but collectively they make a good lineup for WB/DC. Arrow and Flash are in the same universe, however.

Bingo

Not sure how or why you think that has any bearing on my statement regarding their TV status.

I was simply replying to your knock on Marvel, you brought it up so I thought it was safe to speak about it. I'm just stating that Marvel is putting the focus on the big screen opposed to the small screen. I mean they're doing pretty well the the lesser characters( in your opinion). If Marvel can make that type of money on a "lesser character" on the big screen, why bother putting Captain America on a TV series? How would a Flash movie fly? Would it turn out like the Green Lantern? Or would it make Iron Man or Thor money? I will say this though, I don't like AOS either.....

Yeah but in your comparison you are comparing Thor sequal to Man of Steel origins. Neither Captain America or Thor made close to Man of Steel money on their first go. Only the sequels did which both came after the blockbuster Avengers movie.

I would imagine after a couple of years of television build up that yes both Flash and Arrow could easily match the first Captain America and Thor movies. If not much better.

But I wasn't knocking Marvel overall success. It was strictly just bashing the one tv failure.
